Yay! We don't have to scroll through 14 pages lol! I've been having some twingy cramps and a little more brown mucus. It's only when I wipe, not enough for a pad. I'm hoping still it's implantation but I'm losing some hope. :( I have a really bad feeling AF is simply coming early like it did during my first IUI. I'm going to wait and test in a few days if the spotting stops. Lord I hope it stops!
I don't know what our next steps will be if this IUI doesn't take. I really want to move into IVF with icsi honestly because of my husbands sperm issues. It's so frustrating!! Ugh!
Hope everyone else is feeling great and having a good week so far. Hope your drama stops ASAP Lin!

The drama has calmed down some, thank goodness!! Lets just hope it stays that way! Dont lose hope yet, your not out till AF comes on full force! Im still keeping my fingers crossed for you! Well if you think your ready to move on to IVF if this cycle didnt work then I say go for it. Only you know whats truly right for you & your body! I know how much of an emotional roller coaster the whole TTC journey is & you have to be truly happy & confident in the path you choose! You seem like a fighter, dont ever give up!On a side note, being new to this whole trigger shot thing-did you feel any false symptoms from it? Im wondering if the breast soreness Ive been feeling is from that bc now the type of soreness has changed.....before it was a full & heavy kinda sore & now its just like a nipple soreness (which I never get) sorry a lil TMI, but just curious!

LOL Ive learned that too, glad we're all not shy!! = ) Well I remembered being sore when I was pregnant before my mc, but I couldnt remember how early I felt it. DH said he knew I was pregnant before I told him bc when he hugged me I pushed him away saying my boobs were sore- but I so dont remember that!! The only way I knew I was pregnant was I got HORRIBLE heartburn from a turkey sandwich!! I never ever get heartburn and it was the strangest thing, so I poas that night & thought my eyes were playing tricks on me bc I saw the faintest BFP & DH thought he saw it too. So I took another one, same thing. My sister convinced me to go buy more so I bought 3 more & tested again- same thing.....so I decided to wait till the next morning when AF was due, my sister called & woke me up to make me test with FMU & there was a gorgeous BFP!! I was still on the phone with her balling bc I was ssooo happy! DH was at work & it took everything I had to wait till he got home to tell him! The weird thing to me is when I tested then it was Veterans Day & when I can test this cycle is MLK Jr Day!

Both of my earlier pregnancies were so long ago I can barely remember the early symptoms. Haha! I remember craving oranges, having horrible heartburn with my DD, and restless legs. Fortunately I didn't have morning sickness or anything. Every pregnancy is different and I'd take a pregnancy where I throw up all day if it meant I had a baby.

Hi Ladies, Just joining in on this discussion. I go for blood work Thurs AM to see if my 2nd 2nd IUI worked. I did clomid 100mg, HCG trigger, and now I am on Crinone (vaginal progesterone). TTC #1 for 10 cycles (since March 2011).

Good luck to everyone.

Welcome Dfm24!! Have you taken any home tests? I took one 7 dpIUI and it was a very faint positive, I was testing out the trigger; I haven't tested since. You said on your other post that you didn't think it took, why is that? Also, what type of fertility issues do you have?

I agree, Id take morning sickness & every other symptom there is if it meant I could have a healthy baby!! I just have this nagging feeling that the IUI didnt work....I usually have about a 30day cycle which would mean that AF is due Friday the 13th....Im tempted to test tonight but I'm only 9dpiui....Its nasty & rainy outside, looks like its just gunna be a gloomy day all around for me!!Hope you ladies are having a better day!

I didn't want to test before the blood test but I cheated and did one 11dpIUI and 12dpIUI (both in the afternoon so could be inaccurate anyway) and they were negative. I guess after so many months of disappointment and not having any previous pregnancies I am starting to wonder if it's possible. Our fertility issues are me: I don't ovulate well on my own and have shorter luteal phases with low progesterone. Even with 100mg clomid my 7dpo progesterone was 15.2. I don't have PCOS but did have thyroid cancer about 4 years ago, so that could be affecting it. I will continue to try to hope for the best. Good luck every one.

When I got pregnant before I had a mc I didnt get a recognizable BFP till the morning AF was due & even then it wasnt very dark. It didnt really get dark till about 3 days after! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, your not out till AF shows full force!!

I'm still having brown tinges when I wipe. I'm not seeing any bright red so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I really want to wait to test until Friday but if ad is starting I want our doc to be able to look at our charts and see if he wants to change anything for the next iui.
Well ladies, I came home and tested...BFN :( I'm not surprised but I'm still crushed. I'm trying to tell myself that I'm only 12 dpiui so it could be early but I just really feel like it didn't work. Looks like a big bottle of wine this weekend.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you Tiff, I still say your not out till the b*$@# shows full force = )Im just not feeling it today either, I really have a terrible feeling that Im gunna get a BFN. I guess thats whats keeping me from testing, its like if I dont see it then it wont be true! I think Im driving myself nuts! And today I decided to try & get into better shape, Im not terribly overweight or anything but I could definitely stand to lose some pounds & if I do end up with a BFN then I think Im just gunna throw myself head first into this "healthy" plan! I guess bein a shorty (5'5) and pretty large chested does make ya look quite a bit heavier!I may just be joining you in the wine this weekend, Ive got a bottle of Frosty Dog with my name on it!Still sending luck your way tho!

Hopefully it's all in our head Lin! This nasty weather isn't helping my mood any. They're calling for snow tonight so I'm hoping to wake up to feet and feet of it. That way school is cancelled and I can stay home and mope lol. Since your a few days behind me even I def wouldn't test yet. I did go ahead and call my doc's office and left a message letting them know what was up. The RE is in the office tomorrow so I'm hoping he can take a look and see if there's anything he wants to change for next month. It's so funny that you mentioned getting in shape! I've got about 10 pounds I could stand to lose and I just said today if I wasn't preggers it's time to start! I'm also 5' 5"!! The weird similarities continue lol! I find it funny you say that's short because I'm one of the taller people in my family! My dad swears he's 5' 10" but I'm taller than him in heels and I don't wear 5" heels! Lol! My sister Taylor is 4' 11"!! With a size D chest! Lol! DH and I talked last night about what we would like to do as our next steps and I think we've agreed we are willing to do 2 more IUIs while we save up for the IVF. We should be in the perfect place financially for it by february, March at the latest. I'm getting more and more cramping, last night I woke up literally doubled over! I think tonight I'll be hitting the store for lots of leafy greens and veggies, good healthy yumminess....and of course some more HPTs!!

LOL okay this is getting just down right freaky! We are too much alike! haha too funny! My sister Laura is about 5'6 & we're both a size D chest! I dunno how your poor sister doesnt fall forward!! = ) Im definitely the shorty of the family, my dad is 6' and my mom is around 5'8. But DH is 6'2 so I barely come up to his shoulder!! And my BIL is 6'4, I look like a midget next to him haha = ) I hope my children get the tall gene! From your picture is looks like your a blondie, me too! Green eyes?? lol Were we seperated at birth??

Well I have more like 20lbs I could stand to lose to get into really good shape, I dont necessarily eat that badly- but Dr Pepper is like crack to me!! lol = ) Its my guilty pleasure & Im trying to cut it out completely!I think Ive talked myself out of testing, Im too scared to see a BFN & be crushed! Im such a weanie! This being our first IUI Im still hopeful, but sometimes I just dont understand! I got pregnant once before, why cant I now?!? Im headed to the store on my way home, veggie's (an HPT's!!) here I come! I swear if I eat one more carrot my skin is gunna turn orange!!

Lol blue eyes! I'm currently brunette also. The blonde was a ton of upkeep plus I got bored. DH likes my hair long and blonde but he's going to have to settle with just long for a little while. Haha! My sister has a pretty big booty so it evens out. I tell her God gave her that booty so she didn't fall on her face all the time. She really struggles with her weight because at her height 1 pound looks like 5. She's getting married in 2013 so she's already stressing about it. I was so active in high school that I never had to worry about my weight or watching what I ate. I did gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, and ran track so I was busy constantly! I really need to eat better and work out more. I worked so hard to lose weight before our wedding and I've never gotten back into it since the honeymoon. Bad idea lol! That exactly how I feel. I have 2 kids and got pregnant while on BC!! Why can't I now?! I've spent so much time trying to NOT get pregnant, it's so frustrating. I really thought this was going to work this time. We timed it perfectly, everything was good! Ugh!

Yep, it's AF....I'm out for this month. Looks like I'll be drinking that wine earlier than expected. :( Good luck ladies!! I'm out but not leaving the boards! I'm still hoping and praying you all get your BFPs!!!

They forgot to mention what all u get in the middle with it tho!! lol Ive been blonde all my life, bout the only thing I got from my mom other than "the ladies" lmao I used to be so active in HS too that I never had to worry about gaining weight! I was a cheerleader & ran track till I fell & broke my ankle in the 10th grade!! Then I broke the other ankle a year later & have rebroke each once since then too! Im a bit of a klutz!! = )I know what you mean, I spent 3 years taking BC trying NOT to get pregnant only to find out I never needed it at all!! WTH!! I dunno what to feel anymore, I dunno if Im in or out. No AF yet, tomorrow will be CD30- Ive rarely had one over that but that doesnt mean it wont just toy with me this cycle & start late!!Im so sorry AF showed for you, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for next time! It will happen, its just a matter of when! But until then you've always got a support system here!

Haha!! Long lost sisters!! Thankfully the only broken bone I had was my nose broken while stealing second in softball. Torn ligaments and a pulled hammy but that's about it. What did you run in track? Well I THINK AF is here but now I'm not 100% sure. Last night it was red, still not enough for a pad. This morning though it's back to brown! I've never had implant bleeding but I'm still holding out a little hope. If its still doing this I may retest in a few days.
